@mdbell79 @lynnsstrong for me it's The Shawl by Cynthia Ozick. that story just teaches everything and makes me cry every time I read it; but then The Price of Eggs in China by Don Lee makes me glad each time I read it. :)

Love John Leonard's review of Toni Morrison's debut novel, published when she was 39. "a prose so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry ... But The Bluest Eye is also history, sociology, folklore, nightmare and music."

in praise of nested narratives: this one, STATION ELEVEN the imagined graphic novel in the real-world book STATION ELEVEN...and a nested narrative in my novel too. :) https://lithub.com/how-writing-a-book-within-a-book-saved-my-novel/

one of the books we'll be talking about in this workshop is #AllMyRage, the @nationalbook award nominated YA contemporary novel by the amazing @sabaatahir. core question: after you finish crying reading it, how can it inspire *the structure* of your own YA in this genre? https://t.co/aszXwU3ksr
